Question

Bill the explorer was hiking through the Brazilian rainforest when he came upon a strange, new organism which had yet to be classified. It was small, with a mass of only 10 grams. Bill noticed the organism was covered in feathers. After further investigation, Bill discovered that although it did not fly, it had hollow bones. How should Bill best classify this organism?

Answer 1

Bill should classify the organism as a bird.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be right for Bill to classify the newly discovered organism as a bird. This is because the birds are a category of animals which have feathers as well as hollow bones. As for the flying criteria, not all birds belonging to this category can fly. For example, ostrich and kiwi cannot fly but yet still belong to the category of birds, Hence, this newly found organism can be classified into birds as it has feathers and hollow bones.
